Bored is dangerous.
Here in KSA, there is a saying "Bored is dangerous"Really there isnt a saying like this, but there should be. To many silly things are done by people here for no sane reason except for being bored. For example read this story:
A number of Saudi Arabians have questioned a decision by the Ministry of Islamic Affairs to take action against an imam who delivered his Friday sermon using his laptop, reported Arab News. The imam brought his laptop to the mosque in Sarat Abidah in Asir province, much to the consternation of the congregation.

Ok I am confused, which is nothing new because I am usually confused about most things in this life, but this story doubly confuses me. Is the Ministry of Islamic Affiairs just bored or something? Are the pen pushers have now become in this government department become so tired with playing Solitair or Freecell on their PC's at work that they have decided to pick on this Imam for bringing his laptop to Juma3h prayers?
While the Christian church deals with real issues such as gay clergy and sex abuse etc, our Ulemah are debating whether it is haram to bring a laptop to the masjid.
This story is like one of those tales you hear, about some explorer going to some remote place and lighting a lighter and then being accused of being a witch because he made a flame majically appear out of nowhere instead of using two sticks to rub together.
To the religious 'egg heads' I have a message:
Wake Up people... we have more serious issues to be dealing with. Stop critizing people for not growing a beared long enough or for not wearing the kandoora short enough or wether or not they are praying in the Masjid or in their house. Deal with the real issues! Educate people on whats in the Heart of Islam(the true Spirit of Islam) not just the outwardly things on the face. Please your "Holyier than Thou" attitude just shows you up on how uneducated and illiterate you really are.
